Blue jean handbag.

This one is really different. I used fabric stabilizer to hold its shape and washable. Totally six layers of fabric!! I made the beaded handles.

Blue Jean Handbag

Steamed food

Steamed eggplant, purple sweet potatoes and baby monkey head🙉

I read something interesting this morning when I had my breakfast. It's about doctor office visit:

"His problem was persistent daily headaches that began the previous winter as soon as the weather turned cold. At about that time, this 37-year-old systems analyst had taken a faster-paced, better-paying job that he hoped would enable him to buy a home and replace the 20-year-old jalopy he had to drive an hour each way to and from work. After a workup that included a referral to a neurologist, CT scans and MRIs of his head and neck, and a complete laboratory survey, his doctors decided the long commute and increased job stress were causing tension headaches. But Valium and several muscle relaxants didn't help. Some well-meaning friends suggested he get psychiatric help. He remained miserable."

"When I questioned him closely, I learned that his headaches waned noticeably several hours after he arrived at work and returned soon after he got home in the evening, yet they never bothered him on weekends. Those detail gave me hunch. I asked him to  drive straight to my office after work one evening. He arrived with a splitting headache. A blood test showed an elevated level of carboxy hemoglobin, an indicator of carbon-monoxide poisoning. He got rid of that car so fast that we never found out the source of the exhaust leak that nearly cost him his life. His headaches disappeared just as fast."

Quilted handbags

I add quilting to my handbags. Here are two I made last week.

Brooches

Do you like these brooch designs? They are the combination of embroidery and ribbon work.

If you would like to see the details of each brooch (pin) you may find them here.

handbag sewing patterns

As I working on my bag designs I found out that the best way to retrieve my previous designs is to write out the instruction. For each new pattern I make at least THREE bags, the first one is just to make it, the second one I revise the pattern and record the instruction step by step. The third one I test the pattern instruction! Very good! I will never be worried about loosing any of my favourite bag designs!

MONEY BAG!!!

I found this piece of remenante fabric in Joann store the other day and was thinking what to make with. Then, I made this bag!!! The bag is fully lined with dark suede, with a hard standing bottom. 48" long braid yarn strap with tassles hanging on each end of bag so that it is easy to make it shorter by tieing a knod to achieve any length! The bag is closed by a magnatic snap.
